Foil 35 What is a Module?

From General NPAC Foils-B starting June97(PowerPoint) Seamless Computing Conference ECMWF Reading England -- Sept 17,97. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 In general it is any process, but it is convenient (in the pure form of our web approach) to view each module as a Javabean (or equivalent component)
2 The Javabean can wrap existing Fortran, Perl or C C++ code by either using native methods or by invoking the code as a separate process
3 Modules as Javabeans allow them to be stored as objects and inspected visually
  • They can be part of a visual component based programming environment
4 Wrapping existing code as Javabeans is a good way of renovating "legacy code" so can be used more easily in future!
  • Can document for later use using standard property methods in Javabeans
